"there is no evidence of asphyxiation"

The officer was compressing is carotid artery in a type of sleeper hold. The officer was not cutting off his air supply..."just" the oxygen going to his brain. A sleeper hold or a taser shot is non lethal MOST of the time. But the police don't know the medical conditions of the citizens they are encountering or whether they are fit enough to live through sleeper holds or taser shots. And so sometimes people die.

Probably this cop had squeezed many carotids in the past with no deaths. Probably this cop was trained in how to squeeze the carotid. But the question is should the police be using these "almost" non lethal techniques so freely?

Also Floyd was handcuffed and was being beaten while inside the cop car, he moved as far away as he could to avoid the blows, the door was opened such that he fell out and then he was sat on with knee applied to neck. He presented no risk to anyone.

Also if you shove an old lady and she happens to fall down and die, it doesn't matter that she was frail and that most people would not have died from a similar shove. The crime is the same...
